Photos I have been waiting for

So here is a sneak peak of our cute kids- there will be more to come, hen I get them tomorrow! So go check it out under Sarah & Jonathan http://www.skyejohansen.com/blog/index.php

Learning

Sarah Bear (Jonathan is learning to say Sarah bear it is way cute- he can say Sarah very well) has learned to pull herself up in the crib. Today when I got home from the gym, I herd some cute sounds coming from kids room. I first thought that it was Jonathan that woke up early and was playing, but no it was Sarah rockin' away in the crib. She was loving it. So yes it is time to drop the crib down! Sarah also scooted the first time this morning I out her in the middle of the nursery and she wanted to get to the trash can that was by the door, and she scooted herself to it. I was so surprised I haven't seen her do it before (however Dave says that she has done it before). So until I see it, she doesn't know how to do it :). Now she is starting to scoot all over- she is in the dinning area right now! My baby is growing so fast!!
Sarah in her Johnny Jumper- she is smiling at the camera (not lovin' it, but tolerating it.)
This past week we moved Sarah into her new car seat. She is doing great in it!
This is Jonathan on this little seahorse. He was just lovin' it. We have had it for awhile but I have never really seen him on it. But, the other day he got on it and loved. He was rockin' so hard I thought he was going to fall backwards. But he didn't it was fun to watch him play!

Thoughts!

Cute as a button!
This is the end product!
Things just keep moving! Yesterday, Kristi, Mom and I canned peaches. We were able to get free peaches from our aunt. So we started canning, Kristi thought we would only get 5 quarts each (split three ways). Well, she was totally wrong we each got about 21 quarts. We spent all afternoon doing, but with a 3 dollar investment and some time. We got lots of peaches for the winter!
This past week we did our floors holliday schedule and let me tell you it was terrible- lots of tears and heated arguments. It was not fun. I'm working Christmas, which I knew I would be, but that's part of being a nurse and working at the hospital (no matter if you are a new nurse or if you have been a nurse for 30 yrs)! I won't go into that anymore, but my manager will!
Can I say again that I love blogs. One of my friends always talks about her sister and her cute baby (so I feel like I know them through her). So I looked at the blog, and her last post was about Elder Bednar coming and visiting their stake conference. She put what he said in her thought, and it was great and very up-lifting and thought provoking! One thing that I got from it was living in the now and being happy (which if any of you know me really well know that is a hard thing for me with school and work for Dave). I have been working on a blessings book, where each night I try to write down my blessings that I have recieved in a day(which I have been slacking on- but i am going to do better)! It can be little things like I'm blessed to have gotten a kiss and hug from my little boy when I got home from work to I am thankful that Dave has a great paying job so that I can only work part time. I think this has really helped me to keep things in perspective and see that Heavenly Father is blessing me each and everyday from small things to little things! But, I have done really good lately in not wishing that Dave was done with school or I was working PRN. I have really just been trying to live in the now and just enjoy my beutiful kids and wonderful husband!! But back to the thought that blogs are great to help each other out and share thoughts!
Biggest Loser is back and I think that it will be a great season! They did the scare factor in the first episode and it sure worked for me. It was an emotional episode for me- I cried. I could feel for this daughter and Father and how this father is so sick cause of his weight! It makes me want to make sure that everyone is working to get to their goal weight! Yes I love reality TV- Dave can attest to that!
Jonathan is doing so good in listening and understanding what I am saying. This morning I needed to go to Checker Auto, on the way there I knew that there wouldn't be any charts. I try not to go any where, where I can't keep Jonathan contained. He has a thing for running off and doing his own thing. So on the way there I explained to him that he needed to be good and stay with me. I got Sarah and then Jonathan out, and gave Jonathan my wallet to carry. He does really good when he has something to be in charge of (he stayed right next to me so the wallet didn't get lost!), He did great he stayed with me and then followed the man when we need to get something. He touched a few things but other then that he stayed by my side I was so proud of him!!
Sarah is just wonderful- she is finding her voice more and just loves to laugh out loud and like to just whisper da da da, she continues to be a joy. I am waiting with baited breath for Sarah pictures on Monday it will be 3 weeks, so any day now!! She is doing so much better with eating it is great! Everything continues to go in her mouth, and she is so good at clamping her mouth shut so I don't get it out!
Dave is doing really good at school and staying on top of everything

Best Buds

Papa and Jonathan are best Buds! Jonathan spent the morning with Papa, they went to breakfast and went and did errands together! He got cookies and candy too! Later today we were with Grammy while Papa was at the game! We were going to go, but we were waiting for Pap so that Jonathan could say good bye. Well, I was bring things out to the car. I told Jonathan that Papa was here, he turned around and got a big grin on his face and started to run for Papa and gave him big hug (it was so precious- bonds that last forever). Then later when we were eating Jonathan was having hard time, I told him that if he changed his attitude and was good that he could go see Papa after his bath. Of course he was good, so Jonathan and I went on a wagon ride to see Papa! Jonathan can never see Papa too much! We love you Papa, we love living so close!

Excitment!

I went to the gym this morning and I m 2 pounds from my goal weight! I hardly ever weight myself cause I get too depressed if I am over what i want to be or think I should be at! So I thought that I would share my excitement!
Another note- My parents and my sister started to make fresh bread (cause of the rise in food prices) and it is so good. It brought me back to the good ol' days, when I made homemade bread for my family every week. Well, when Dave and i got married we got a bread maker. Which I have never used, while this week I got it out and made bread from it. It was great! I love fresh bread! But it was funny cause Dave had never seen a breadmaker and he was so impressed that it did it ll for you! It made me chuckle!

Cousins with Sarah!

This is our beautiful girl in her Sunday dress (Thanks Meri she looks great!)
Lacey loving Sarah!
Aren't they just cute! (this was a while back but I just got the pics)
So today we were at my parents and Sarah was on the ground and Sam was just make faces at Sarah and she was just laughing so hard (when I was going to record it- it was too late). It made everyone laugh as well!
The cute girls with Great Grandma and Grandpa! We are so lucky to be so close to Grandma and Grandpa! We love you guys!

Got to love them!

I was changing the laundry and Sarah just got up from her unsuccessful nap and wanted to be held so I put her in the laundry basket. I thought that she would be appeased with it. While Jonathan thought that it looked like fun so he jumped in to! Don't you love how there expressions are opposite of each other!

This is cute Sarah rockin'!
